Festo's Bionic Air Penguins

The Air Penguins are autonomous flying machines with swarm behavior, whose manoeuverability and agility emulate nature. The flying penguins move of their own free will within a defined space thanks to an intelligent system. The Air Penguins were built with a new type of wing, a fin construction which allows them to generate backwards as well as forwards propulsion. This Gear Factor concept was developed for Festo's exhibitions and events worldwide.
